Brings what grabs you about Steel Assault: a post-apocalyptic setting, jumping and platforming as well as a dark atmosphere.

A brutally hard precision platformer by Edmund McMillen where you play Ash, hopping through a ruined world and dying countless times in short, tricky screens. Dark humor and a huge map packed with hidden collectibles define the experience.

Cyber Shadow

Post-apocalyptic setting

A tight ninja platformer with an authentic 8-bit look, blending classic NES-style action with smooth animation and precise controls. Varied levels and big boss fights in a grim cyber future test your reflexes and patience.

Oniken

Post-apocalyptic setting

A brutally tough 8-bit action platformer in the spirit of NES Ninja Gaiden. As the mercenary ninja Zaku, you slash through a post-apocalyptic world of soldiers, relying on precise timing and quick reflexes.

Butcher

Dark, serious atmosphere

A fast, extremely gory 2D pixel-art shooter where you play a cyborg blasting through grim levels, killing enemies with chainsaws, shotguns or environmental hazards. A throwback to early 90s action games.

Ghostrunner II

Post-apocalyptic setting

Ghostrunner II is a blisteringly fast first-person slasher where you wallrun, grapple and slice through a ruined cyberpunk world as a cyber ninja. One hit kills, so precision and reflexes are rewarded; new additions include motorbike sections and bigger boss fights.

Laika: Aged Through Blood

Post-apocalyptic setting

A grim metroidvania set in a post-apocalyptic desert where you play a vengeful coyote warrior. It mixes motorbike platforming, flips and gunplay in fast combat, wrapped in a striking hand-drawn comic style.

Enslaved: Odyssey to the West

Post-apocalyptic setting

A linear action-adventure loosely based on Journey to the West, following brawler Monkey and tech-savvy Trip through an overgrown, mech-ruled future America. Its strength lies in expressive performances and a touching, reluctant partnership rather than mechanical depth.

Haak

Post-apocalyptic setting

Haak is a pixel-art Metroidvania platformer set in a post-apocalyptic wasteland, where you unlock new abilities to explore hidden corners of the world, fight enemies and uncover its secrets.

Reset 1-1

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A tough retro-style platformer where you play a nameless hero fighting through a world overrun by demons after the apocalypse. Precise jumping and quick reflexes are key.

Canabalt

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A minimalist one-button endless runner where you sprint across the rooftops of a collapsing city, timing jumps to get as far as possible. Quick runs, pixel visuals and a driving soundtrack define the experience.
